At Airtm, we’re constantly expanding the possibilities for managing your money without borders. Now, in addition to receiving funds from third parties, you can send ACH transfers directly from your Airtm account to any U.S. bank account.

In this blog, we’ll walk you through how to use this feature and explore practical use cases to help you get the most out of it.

But first, what are ACH payments?

Before diving into how this service works on Airtm, it’s important to understand what ACH payments are. ACH transfers (Automated Clearing House) are an electronic payment system that allows money to move quickly and securely between bank accounts in the United States. This method is widely used for:

  • Direct Payments: Such as payroll deposits or payments to suppliers.
  • Direct Debits: Such as automatic payments for bills or services.

ACH payments are reliable, cost-effective, and, in most cases, processed within 1 to 3 business days, making them an ideal option for recurring or planned financial transfers.
